1. ““‘As we have stated on many prior occasions, “[ajn appellate court is confined in its review to the appellate record, that record cannot be ‘changed, altered, or varied on appeal by statements in briefs of counsel,’- and the court may not ‘assume error or presume the existence of facts as to which the record is silent.’” Beverly v. Beverly, 28 So.3d 1, 4 (Ala. Civ. App. 2009) (quoting Quick v. Burton, 960 So.2d 678, 680-81 (Ala. Civ. App. 2006)).’ “Dreading v. Dreading, 84 So.3d 935, 937 (Ala. Civ. App. 2011). Further, ““[ajttachments to briefs are not considered part of the record and therefore cannot be considered on appeal.’”’ Roberts v. NASCO Equip. Co., 986 So.2d 379, 385 (Ala. 2007) (quoting Morrow v. State, 928 So.2d 315 , 320 n.5 (Ala. Crim. App. 2004), quoting in turn Huff v. State, 596 So.2d 16, 19 (Ala. Crim. App. 1991)).””
